Hi everyone! My brother has had a bearded dragon for almost a year and a half now, and he never held him. He finally agreed to give him to me. Since I’ve had him the past 4 weeks. The first two weeks he left me hold him, give him baths without any signs of aggression. But this last week, he will try and bite me when I go into his cage to pick him up. I move slowly, and In front of him so he can see me coming. Yet he has quick little movements with his mouth open and a little hissing. I know he’s not used to being held, but he wasn’t like this in the beginning. I’ll wrap him up like a burrito and lay him on my chest and he will have a black beard for a long long time. I don’t know what happened from the first few weeks I’ve had him till now. Any suggestions please! I’ve heard from a friend of mine that because he is older and not used to being held that he probably won’t get less aggressive? Someone please tell me that’s not true!!
